Gotta love the text for Valkyria Chronicles II

What does that even mean?

They're making fun of the story. Mostly because it feels like a School based manga/anime in a context that doesn't fit at all.

Missed two:-

Metroid Fusion (GBA) - 8/10
Metroid Prime (GC) - 9/10

...if the the Edge reviews database was still up, we could see what they gave Super Metroid back in the day too. :/

Reading them is the only good part imo, the scores are largely irrelevant. In fact, I'd rather read Edge reviews than about anyone else's.

Their review text for Other M is pretty glowingly positive btw. And I think they nailed Valkyria II, from everything I've been told it's very much a conceding step backwards from the first game.
